You'll get a missed response to this one.
Personally, I prefer the gold ones on blue.

I'm not a fan of gold, I personally think dark anthracite would look pretty good.

Problem with black is that it's the colour of the moment (if you look in the boy racer magazines) so they will date badly.

It's your car m8 and you should do as you wish, but if it was me i'd get the wheels in silver as it's a colour that never dates(just personal preference).

Good luck.

I much prefer the top one. The second picture looks like you're trying too hard - if you're going to change the colour of the wheels I'd agree with the above poster who said go silver. Aren't those wheels available in silver anyway - bright flitter or something? Looks very cool. I don't like the lowered ride height or the dark windows either! Sorry, it's just too much.

i personally dont like it... i like alloys to be bold and striking.. black on a darkish car.. make them look lost.. maybe its just coz its photoshopped and coz the new STis are quite bubbly.. but it looks like it just has empy arches....

I think the gold ones looked far nicer, and are also the style i want to get for my sti.. just not sure whether gold or silver....

MMM tricksy

Not a fan of black wheels on a light blue car if honest. Then again,i am also not over keen on gold either lol. Alloy's should be striking and stand out i.e bright silver,or even possibly white (on the right car).





Dont suppose my comments will help you to decide though lol

I do like the tints though. Had mine done a while back and it made a huge difference to the whole look of the car. Do it

The gold looks much better than the black IMHO
Silver OZ would look better still.

Antracite, maybe, not black. Tints would be good.
